Textile Factories In Manchester: Old Factories And High Technology

Beside the former site of stark textile mill

Manchester is the largest city in New Hampshire and North new England.

It's the largest city. Actually, the population is only about 110 thousand, from the Elm street in downtown Manchester to the north, to Webster street, to the west, and then to Canal Street.

The most striking thing in Manchester is the row of reddish brown buildings in the city. The noticeable signs on the walls indicate that these buildings are all in nineteenth Century.

Beside a building marked "stark textile mill", there is a statue of a bronze textile worker.

Looking back at the textile workers who looked far away, silent thoughts brought people's thoughts to more than 200 years ago.

Textile City has a long history

This year this place is named Manchester 200th anniversary.

Before settlers settled in Europe in 1722, local Indians called it Na Moss Ki, meaning "fishing land", because fishing from the Emo J Ki falls of the merimac river is easy.

In 1751, European immigrants changed their name to Driffield.

In 1807, Samuel Blodgett pioneered the excavation of the river channel and the construction of the sluice system in the waterfall area of the merek River to enable the mermek River to navigate.

In 1809, Benjamin Pritchard and others used local hydropower resources to create cotton mills.

Like the first industrialized city of Manchester in the British Industrial Revolution, blojdt wants to become "Manchester of the United States".

Under his suggestion, it was renamed Manchester in 1810.

Since then, more and more textile mills have been established in Manchester.

By 1846, the Manchester eleventh cotton mill with 4000 textile machines became the largest cotton mill in the world.

From the second half of nineteenth Century to the beginning of twentieth Century, a large number of workers poured into Manchester from all sides, including many French Canadians from the French speaking area of Canada.

The bulletin board at the central garden of Elm street is also busy and noisy in Manchester, but this noise has long been a history.

Manchester's textile industry suffered two heavy losses in the 30s and 80s of last century, and has already entered the "Textile Museum".

Since then, the industrial city with a long history is facing the difficult problem of economic pformation.

Close to a row of red brown old textile factory buildings, the reporters saw some factories still in the state of abandonment, and some other factory buildings have already hung signs such as "University of New Hampshire" or various companies.

The Decca company created by Dean Kaman is a pioneering pioneer in promoting Manchester's economic pformation.

In 1984, Decca bought an old textile factory building in Manchester, where it was developed to produce high-tech products such as medical devices, robots, water purification equipment, and wheelchairs.

In the lab of Decca, the responsible person briefed reporters on the "mechanical arm" being developed.

The mechanical arm mounted on disabled people is light in weight, and its flexibility and endurance performance increase, which has great market potential.

In the process of economic pformation, alternative energy sources and so on.

Tax incentives attract enterprises

On the issue of economic pformation in Manchester, the reporters interviewed Carol Shea, Potter, the federal representative of New Hampshire, and Senator Jenny Shaheen, who was governor of the state.

They believe that in the difficult economic pformation, Manchester has made full use of the geographical advantages close to Boston and has talent resources such as Dartmouth College.

Maas Cuomo has also established R & D cooperation with South Africa's Stanley Buss University.

In addition, New Hampshire, where Manchester is located, does not levy generalized personal income tax, nor does it have any tax on business, use, inventory, capital gains and professional services. The proportion of corporate tax is only 8.5% of the annual net income of the company.

Many tax exemption measures make New Hampshire the second "duty-free state" in the United States after Alaskan California, and make Manchester a friendly city for high-tech start-ups.

That's why Maas Cuomo moved from other states to Manchester.
